Our old pal, Micheal Moore has published a pledge and a petition (over 17,000 signatures so far), using his wry wit to issue a 12-point manifesto.
A Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives

Unfortunately, MM's words seemed familiar to folks at Democratic Underground. Sure enough, there was a similar posting there five days before Moore issued his pledge and petition.
Now, the original poster and DU followers are crying foul and doing a paragraph-by-paragraph comparison.

You guys are getting me all riled up about this Michael Moore business.
Just for a refresher:
(Mine is in the order I originally presented it; Moore's is taken from here and there in his piece.)
Moore: A Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives
Me: Dear dismayed conservatives:
Moore: I, and my fellow signatories, hereby make these promises to you:
Me: I hereby make these promises to you.
Moore: Should a mass murderer ever kill 3,000 people on our soil, we will devote every single resource to tracking him down and bringing him to justice. Immediately. We will protect you.
Me: We will protect your lives and livelihoods.
Moore: We will always respect you for your conservative beliefs.
Me: We will listen to and respect your beliefs.
Moore: We will respect your religious beliefs, even when you don't put those beliefs into practice. // We will let you marry whomever you want, even when some of us consider your behavior to be "different" or "immoral."
Me: We will never try to force you to change your religion, sexual orientation, or first language.
